    If you could do any job for a day, just to see what it is like, what would it be?

    I've half an eye on Cheltenham here so I reckon being a rasehorse jockey for a day would be pretty cool.

    Though I'd also love to give air traffic controlling a punt too, kinda like a big computer game with peoples lives at stake :pac:

    A Garda. Not saying that I would like to do their job indefinitely (or even that I'm able for it), rather it's just so different to what I do that I think it would be fascinating to see a day in the life.

    I should have added chef to my list. I'd hate to have a job as a chef as its long hours on your feet. But I'd love to try it out for a day in a busy commercial kitchen just to see how I'd handle the pressure of it all. They could sack me at closing time, I'd be fine with that.

    Fluffer.

    Seems that fluffers are only for men. Whatever the one for women might be -- a moisturizer?

    I'd say chef as well, I love cooking, though I'd probably hate it if it was my proper job.

    Astronaut, because space.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I once read about this guy, in India. His actual paid profession was to travel around the countryside deflowering virgin girls!

    I wonder what His dream job for the day would be?

    I'd be a princess. Like a trial day and I'd be so good they'd hire me forever.

    Imagine being in space, awsome

    I did study and try to be a professional comic artist but alas, I was evidently not as talented as my mammy told me I was so maybe I could jump into the shoes of Eszuerra or Mills for a day and just be all "Wow, I am awesome"


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'd work at the Alameda Naval Aviation Museum, and I'd fly all the birds.

    Being a Beatle at the height of their fame would have been awesome.

    Mostly grog n drugs if I'm honest though.

    Either a gynaecologist, an assassin or a milkman.

    The gynaecology thing wouldn't be in any way perverted, would just like to hear about, and see first-hand, the kind of issues ladies present.
